Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 25 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Neither tenant by entirety can convey his or her interest so as to affect the right of survivorship ■ in the other. The alienation by the husband of a moiety will not defeat the wife’s title to that moiety if she survive him; but, if he survive, the conveyance becomes as effective to pass the whole estate as it would had he been sole seized at the time of the conveyance. The. husband may do what he pleases with the rents and profits during coverture, but he cannot dispose of any part of the inheritance, without his wife’s consent.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“Where land is conveyed to husband and wife, they do not take by moities, but both are seized of the entirety — the whole in contradistinction to a moiety or part only. . . . Neither tenant by entirety can convey his or her interest so as to affect the right of survivorship in the other. [Citations omitted.]”
